Alternative to Minio ? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hello,

I'm currently using Minio as an easy database for serving my images. To make things simpler everything is set to public, so that just with the URL, you can access it directly. While it's working great for my website, by setting everything public you can easily see ALL the images. So my question is : What is the best way to setup my node JS app as a proxy ? Is it going through the full S3 protocol hell mess, or is there any solution ?

PS : I have a lot of images, so setting everything in the node app is not possible

I'm not entirely sure what you're seeking to accomplish here - are you looking to just impose authorization on a subset of the images? Probably those should be in a non-public bucket for starters.

Looking to only give certain people access to files and also have a nicer UI (a la Google Drive / Photos)? Maybe plain S3 isn't the play here and a dedicated application is needed for that subset.

Pre signed URLs may also be a thing useful to what you're trying to to solve. https://docs.min.io/docs/javascript-client-api-reference.html#presignedGetObject
